Quoted from roffels:Agreed, of course I buy things from businesses don't pay their employees a life of luxury.
I did not suggest they need to own a car or house. Only that they are compensated enough to have access to housing - IE whatever rent may be in that area, and ideally have insurance and benefits. Hell, I don't own a house or car, and I'm not complaining about that. Those are luxuries, and if you have them, take comfort in them and enjoy them.
Last thing im gonna say on this. Just look at it this way, if you dont support stern we lose our biggest pinball manufacturer and those people that work there will lose their jobs. Even if they arent the best jobs in the world, it is still paying their bills for now until they can find a better job. Thats 2 good reasons that you should go out and buy the new IMDN game tomorrow. Keep in mind, by buying a new game you will also keep people working who make parts for stern to build their games with. Stern keeps more people working indirectly than they do at their factory. So by buying a new game you keep alot of people employed and you keep our hobby alive. If that's not good enough for you then i dont know what is.
